day 3

DAY 3
this is day 3 of our trip
we are in san francisco visiting our kiddos

san francisco reminds me a lot of austin texas in a way
they are more progressive in green things in a way that is
different from austin
those electric buses are so much fun to watch
no pollution locally-just wherever the electricity is produced

we have been to san francisco several times now since they have
lived there so we have done so much of the tourist stuff
my wife she and i walked along the edges of san francisco once
it took us all afternoon but we were here when the weather was
sunny warm and just right for a marathon walk
seeing things from street level is not the same as driving in a car

every time we go though i make them go to the big farmers market
down at the ferry center
think next time i come here will just have them drop me off and
they can pick me up when it closes
would love to take my time and talk with and quiz the sellers about
how they grow their stuff

we just vegged out in the late afternoon (had to watch the horns
play) but went out to eat at a restaurant for our evening meal
(i call that my supper but i guess its really dinner)
all the places we have been taken to have been good
and like in austin the diners come in different types of dress-from
more formal to the more laid back jeans and shirts (my favorite)

today
will go to a restaurant and creamery we saw on the rfdtv show
california country
the owners rasise their own eggs, veggies, milk products
the restaurant is a vegan one but apparently its is very good food
and the desserts at the creamery are to die for

then its bracketology this evening
am ready for that

tomorrow we leave sf and will drive on our hwy one trip
first stop steinbecks museum
